Episode 24: Star Wars – Shadows of the Empire

Episode 24:

Star Wars – Shadows of the Empire

We’re moving onto a new operating system in this episode as we eye a whole new era of nostalgia. This time we’re talking all about the N64 Star Wars classic 1996 Shadows of the Empire! The boys played this game like crazy back in the 90s and find it a treat to revisit. Hopefully you got a chance to do the same!

After the intros they get into the history of game (4:00), then the gameplay (21:30). Then of course they play a delicious round of “What’s The Beer? What’s The Song?” (32:30), and introduce a new segment: “What Else We Playing?” (39:30). They end things talking about next month’s game and other outro stuff (43:30).

Also, give it a listen to find out what game we’re playing next month.

Notes

That book we keep mentioning is Rogue Leaders: The Story of LucasArts by Rob Smith, and it’s a fantastic overview of the history of LucasArts with thousands of stories and illustrations. I always learn something new every time I open it up.
